Autohotkey ToolTip Refresh

Question

I can't get the tooltip to update once I input variables through the GUI to display.

Could someone please run this script? You use the pause key to get up the menu that edits the tooltip.

The problem is I cannot get the tooltip to update. The tooltip is displayed with some code that I don't understand. I found it another thread that helps immensely in stopping the flickering on the tooltip.

edit9 = pre-saved F9
edit10 = pre-saved F10
edit11 = pre-saved F11
edit12 = pre-saved F12

ToolTip,F1: %edit1%`r`nF2: %edit2%`r`nF3: %edit3%`r`nF4: %edit4%`r`nF5: %edit5%`r`nF6: %edit6%`r`nF7: %edit7%`r`nF8: %edit8%`r`nF9 Databit: %edit9%`r`nF10 Geeks: %edit10%`r`nF11 ASI: %edit11%`r`nF12 Integrated  Comp Sys: %edit12%, %mouseX%, %mouseY%, %mouseX%, %mouseY%

Process,Exist
hwnd:=WinExist("ahk_class tooltips_class32 ahk_pid " Errorlevel)
Loop
   ToolTip_UpdatePos(hwnd)

ToolTip_UpdatePos(hwnd,x="",y=""){
   static TTM_TRACKPOSITION := 0x412
   VarSetCapacity(xc, 20, 0), xc := Chr(20),DllCall("GetCursorInfo", "Uint", &xc)
   ,yc := NumGet(xc,16), xc := NumGet(xc,12),xc+=30,yc+=30
   If x
      xc:=x
   If y
      yc:=y
   DllCall("SendMessage", A_PtrSize ? "UPTR" : "UInt", hwnd
                                    , "Uint", TTM_TRACKPOSITION
                                    , A_PtrSize ? "UPTR" : "UInt", 0
                                    , A_PtrSize ? "UPTR" : "UInt", (xc & 0xFFFF)|(yc & 0xFFFF)<<16)
}

You just need to put the tootip updating in the gui button subroutine

buttonok:
gui, submit
ToolTip,F1: %edit1%`r`nF2: %edit2%`r`nF3: %edit3%`r`nF4: %edit4%`r`nF5: %edit5%`r`nF6: %edit6%`r`nF7: %edit7%`r`nF8: %edit8%`r`nF9 Databit: %edit9%`r`nF10 Geeks: %edit10%`r`nF11 ASI: %edit11%`r`nF12 Integrated  Comp Sys: %edit12%
return

Something like that

Hope it helps
